NEFAs Billy Dunne ranked #1 AM on the planet!

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 by John Borelli

Congratulations to NEFA member Billy Dunne of Trumbull, CT on being the #1 rated amateur disc golfer on the planet. The 18 year old college freshman has a 1009 PDGA rating!

> See for yourself

After tearing through the AM2 and AM1 divisions over the past few years, Billy now plays Open and declines cash payouts to maintain his amateur status and avoid any college eligibility issues.

Besides being a great disc golfer, Billy is also a darn nice kid and it's been fun watching him grow up. Way to go, Billy! You've made NEFA proud!

Disc golf with Santa

Wednesday, December 15, 2010 by John Borelli

If you're done with your Christmas shopping by Christmas Eve day, why not reward yourself with playing in a doubles tournament? I just received this note from NEFA Dubs Series organizer, Titan Bariloni:

Come have some fun at a NEFA Dubz Event on Christmas Eve on a ball golf course that is set up as a disc golf course over the winter months. The course may not be setup this year and this may be your only chance to play this interesting layout.

This could also be a "make or break" on if the course will open for the year. So let's do what we do best in NEFA and go support some disc golf!

> Event info

The more the merrier! Tis the season for disc golf fun! No matter the turnout, it will be a fun way to spend the day and you'll have plenty of time to get home to the family, or it'll be a good way to be a part of the family we all call NEFA.

Thanks for the info, Titan.
